Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

It came out of the Torpille on a kite (Impact?) that did not want to do that particularly.. course, it might have been that guy who designed the Level One Challenge.. Furter? Anyway I seem to remember it being Mayet, the Satchmo of kite flying.

Neat trick - its one that scares onlookers when they are watching since it looks like the kite is tumbling out of control and the flyer is madly hammering on the lines.

I can't wait until I can do it.

I really liked Wills in the last VF (or perhaps the one before). I like them best when they are just hanging in place or dropping only slightly, reverse directions a few times - looks amazing (if only to us trick flyers who know what it is).

I was having major problems a bit ago when reversing after the sixth input, I found that giving the 7th input of the first direction, so the set up pop, and then starting the reverse rotation worked best.LRLRLRLRLRLRL

Or maybe I am just doing something more basic wrong, requiring this method

For me, it is the hardest trick I've ever learnt. I mastered it on a Gemini (not the best kite to learn it on!).

Although it can be carried-out slow and graceful, generally it is fast pace trick that is hard to learn because there's none of that simple 'set-up, then input'. The best way is to find it through various forms of timing.

Took me 4 months and I can still only do them counter-clockwise....SOOOoooooo....learn it in BOTH directions at the same time! LEARN EVERY TRICK IN BOTH DIRECTIONS at the same time!! It saves you so much pain later.
